The Brides Dilemma

1t was reserved for a bride lately TO
suffer a complication of accidents. and
get married after all, in the Little Church
Around the Corner, in New York. The
young lady left the house and got ten
blocks away when she discovered that she
had not put on her bridal veil. This was
no fool of veil, either. 1t was not the
regular square of blonde lace, but love
ly Brussels net, richly wrought by the
nuns in the Convent of the Sacre Ceur,
in Montreal. Back went the bride for
this gorgeous portion of her ra.ment. 1t
was thrown over her in the carriage, and
the wedding procession again started.-
This time breath of air produced an in
clination to sneeze. The poor bride re-
pressed it, but il escaped at last, and, oh,
horror on horrors head her white satin
waist split from belt to shoulder. Here
occurred halt, this time AT little shop,
where thread and needles were obtained
and the gaping space with difficulty was
covered. At last, much too late, that un-
fortunate woman reached the church. In
stepping nervously from the carriage the
lace bottom of an under petticoat caugh t
on the step, and she felt the fastening give
away. Every step up the aisle she could
feel that cruel skirt slip, slip, till she
feared she should have to step out Of il at
the very altar. She took sri p on the
side, and on she went. During the entire
service she clung to it like grim death.
She let 90 for a moment to get her glove
off for the ring, and when she resumed
her hold she felt that it had gained on
her. She might have been married with
the catechism for all she knew. She had
these thoughts: "Will that petticoat be
dropped in the aisle, or will | shed it on
the sidewalk before the mob as | climb
into the carriage? Is it the lawn skirt
with three rufiles of Valenciennes, or is ii
that little blue embroidered cashmere ma
made me wear so | wouldn't take cold p
The perspiration started on her pallid
brow as she hurriedly made the responses,
and halffainting, made her way down the
aisle. Don't lose your presence of mind,
DEAR" whispered the young husband
"Its my petticoat I'm losing" returned
the lady pettishly. When once in the
carriage, the sentimental bridegroom
pressed her hand and said: " AT last the
prize is mine" She said the same thing
as she kicked the dreadful petticoat under
the carriage seat. 1t was the WOODEN one

A NAMELESS CASE.

NV case has been very curious one for about
thirteen years. At intervals OF about one week
l would be attacked with spells of severe and
most excruciating pain, always commencing
in the region of my kidneys. The pain would
then go upwards and affect my body and head
and seemed to penetrate my very eye-balls,
creating the most intense suffering, lasting
about eight hours each spell.
l resorted to all kinds of medicine without
benefit. Several doctors treated my case, but
none gave relief. l finally used b. b. B. as an
experiment, and to my utter astonishment all
main and suffering vanished after using three
doses. To the present time l have used three
bottles, and not pain has ever returned.
do not know what was the matter, neither
could my physician name the complaint. The
B. b. b. acted finely and powerfully upon my
kidneys; my appetite has been splendid and
my constitution built up rapidly:

Lady locket lost her pocket,
Lost it out in the orchard grass
And little fellow clad in yellow
Found it as he chanced to pass.
And he said, or sang it, Ho, I'll hang it.
These were his very sing song words
Where bloom comes quickest, and bloom is

1t looked so funny-a bag for money,
A grass-cloth pouch so quaint and odd
With woven shining silken lining
Made from broken milk-weed pod.
Leaves were growing and buds were blowing,
And he did his wisest and his best
To try TO hide it, but some one spied il,

Swinging here in the apple-tree.
